About KoreanHapa

I am … Korean American and Asian American and Hapa American. Parents the usual: Connecticut meets Seoul by way of SoCal, settling in North Florida … After bouncing around from Florida to California to Florida to Asia to New York to Missouri and back to New York, have settled on the Best Coast where high heels and hiking boots and haute cuisine can happen in the same perfect day.

Try to make pretty food and pretty pictures whenever possible. Ethnic Studies and Asian American Studies are most close to my heart. Find flora divine and fauna fascinating. Could read for hours on end, and could have traveled for the rest of my life too. But then there’s importance of being rooted … Oh, and I like to run. 🙂

Happiest when underwater or somewhere in between.

Writer/editor/web content manager. When not exploring our amazing planet, I reside in San Francisco — just where I always wanted to be!

THE HINES WARD HELPING HANDS FOUNDATION

Born in Seoul, South Korea to a Korean mother and an African American soldier, Hines has become an international role model to children everywhere.

Having persevered through many trials as a child in a single parent home, Hines has dedicated his time off the field to the betterment of inner city and underprivileged youth in the Pittsburgh and Atlanta areas. His Helping Hands U.S. Foundation focuses on improving literacy among children and will provide programs and services to better equip them for achieving and handling success in life.

Abroad, his Helping Hands Korea Foundation (formed as a tribute to his mother) has targeted biracial discrimination, especially as it occurs among the children of Korea. With two visits to Seoul this past summer, Hines has already made a significant impact on the entire country of Korea by speaking out against the country’s discriminatory practices and by pledging his time and allegiance to the biracial children there.

Indeed, with his dedication of both “heart and soul” to his Helping Hands cause both here and abroad, Hines Ward is considered by many to be the world’s “Ambassador of Hope” to children from all walks of life.
